Details

Description

From the Gurlaina sports ground (with ice rink, football and tennis courts), this short route leads on the Via da S-charl (paved road) up to the riding stable and Saloon San Jon, where there is a cozy place to stop. 

From here, it goes down on a singletrail to the viewpoint «Bellavista» with views of the Lower Engadine and through the forest back to Scuol.

Hidden Gem

Recommendation
From San Jon, a short detour eastwards to the high plateau «Bain Crotsch» is recommended, an open area with a wonderful view. Encounters with riders and riding beginners are to be expected at all times. Please reduce speed to a very slow pace in this case. 

The riding stable and Saloon San Jon offers numerous riding opportunities, also for absolute beginners. www.sanjon.ch
